The re-releases of Pushpa: The Rise (Hindi) and Karan Arjun are battling it out at the box office, but neither has managed to dominate completely. Both films have generated decent numbers, with Pushpa: The Rise facing stiff competition from Karan Arjun and Shah Rukh Khan’s Kal Ho Naa Ho, which continues to perform strongly in theaters.
Pushpa: The Rise (Hindi) Box Office Performance
- Day 1: ₹20 lakh
- Day 2: ₹25 lakh
- Day 3: ₹25 lakh
- Total: ₹70 lakh (approx.)
The re-release of Pushpa: The Rise (Hindi) has shown modest growth over its first three days. While the movie retains its cult following, the numbers have been underwhelming, possibly due to a lack of novelty for fans already familiar with the film.
Karan Arjun Box Office Performance
- Day 1: ₹30 lakh
- Day 2: ₹40 lakh
- Day 3: ₹40 lakh
- Total: ₹1.10 crore (approx.)
Karan Arjun, the 1995 classic starring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, has fared slightly better, surpassing the ₹1 crore mark in three days. Its nostalgia-driven appeal continues to attract loyal fans, though growth prospects appear limited as audiences remain drawn to Shah Rukh Khan’s Kal Ho Naa Ho, which is also running in theaters.
Kal Ho Naa Ho Overshadows Both
The re-release of Kal Ho Naa Ho has emerged as the frontrunner, drawing significant attention from audiences and hindering the growth of both Pushpa: The Rise (Hindi) and Karan Arjun. The film’s emotional appeal and Shah Rukh Khan’s enduring popularity make it a strong competitor.
Conclusion
While Pushpa: The Rise (Hindi) and Karan Arjun have drawn moderate audiences, neither has managed to create a significant impact in the shadow of Kal Ho Naa Ho. As the re-releases progress, their prospects for sustained growth appear limited unless a surge in nostalgic interest reignites ticket sales.
